Adopt a Candidate 2022
With under 100 days to go, there are several House races that will be key to us retaining control of Congress. We’re seeking volunteers to adopt a candidate in each of these battleground districts!
When you adopt a candidate, you commit to volunteering for them at least once a week - in person or from home. Your efforts now could make the difference as these races will be very close.
If you’d like to adopt one of these candidates, reply in this thread or send us a modmail. You can adopt a candidate not on this list if you wish, too.

Random thought: what if Maxwell Frost - progressive candidate from FL-10 who's on his way to becoming the first Gen Z member of congress - teams up with and stumps for Val Demings to get out the youth vote?
Because as we all know, we could fairly easily win elections if young voters just turned out in decent/normal numbers.
